Shake Off Your Doubts
“And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly]. Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.” —Mark 11:22-23 (AMPC) […]
God Loves Human!
Many of the struggles that we have in life originate in our inaccurate and sometimes erroneous beliefs we have regarding the nature and character of God. There is also an equally inaccurate, belief regarding the true identity and value of man. In the book of Psalms David writes: “When I view and consider Your heavens, […]
Exposing the Enemy
Mystical Theories About the Devil It’s amazing how much myth surrounds teaching about the devil, and how much has been accepted as truth without question. Most of what people believe is based on other people’s experiences or the insights of those who profess to know more about the devil than the Bible reveals. This inevitably […]
Living in the Fullness of God
As believers, the promise of sharing in the abundant (Zoe) life of God and living in His fullness is a great privilege. It’s not some future goal. It’s reality because we are seated together with Christ in heavenly places. Jesus said, “… the person whose ears are open to My words who listens to My […]
Establishing A New Heart
As a believer, you already have the very life of God right here and now! God preplanned for us to have His life from the beginning of time (Eph. 2:10). Before we were saved, our hearts were established in a belief system based on worldly views, self-effort and performance. But when we accept Jesus, we […]
God’s Restoring Grace
Every person has a divinely implanted destiny and purpose, and we can never really be fully satisfied unless we live out that destiny and purpose through Christ. Ecclesiastes says, He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working […]
Jesus Changes Everything: And We are Safe and Sound
The validity of the New Testament Gospel message is based upon the crucifixion of Christ, signifying the finished work of the cross. When it comes to interpreting Scripture, we need to have a Christ- centered view. Jesus, and what He accomplished on the cross, CHANGED EVERYTHING! The New Covenant – A Superior Covenant When we […]
The Deception of Self Righteousness
One of the biggest deceptions in the world, especially in the Church, is that of performance-religion and self- righteousness. There’s a huge emphasis on maintaining the moral standards of the so-called “Judeo-Christian-value system.” We hear: “I’m a good Christian.” “I belong to a church.” “I go to a home group.” “I read my Bible.” “I […]
Discovering True Love
John is known as the apostle of love. Let’s look at some well-known verses in one of his letters. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God and knoweth God. He that loveth not, knoweth not God…. —1 John 4:7-8 Unfortunately, this scripture has […]
The Tender Mercies of God
As believers, our theology (study and view of God) and our doctrines (principles) must be consistent with our heartfelt beliefs. You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant PEACE (Shalom) whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and […]
Born Free
Anytime that we discuss freedom as it relates to believers in the kingdom of God, we must realize that freedom means different things to different people! In Acts 22, an incident in the life of Paul powerfully illustrates the New Testament truth regarding Christian freedom in the kingdom of God! Paying a High Price! And […]
Preaching the Gospel to all the World!
I often hear people talking about a Grace Revolution taking place in the church today. I think it is more of a “Grace Reformation” that has the potential to sweep throughout the whole world! Jesus said, ”And this good news of the kingdom (the Gospel) will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony […]
